Can or can't this trap Grey Squirrels. One says yes and the other no. Which one is it.
5356
Yes - I caught one which was the reason I purchased this. I used peanut butter.
5357
I got the trap in the mail and set it that evening and had a grey squirrel by 10:00 a.m.

I had no luck with gray squirrels. After a while I found that they enjoyed rolling the trap to shake out the bait. The trap seems too small for large squirrels.

Yes, absolutely can catch grey squirrels. Use a little apple and peanut butter for bait. Put a tiny bit outside the trap a more inside the trap. After eliminating all the chipmunks in the area, I'm catching a grey squirrel almost every day I try. 10 so far ...

This trap is definitely effective for grey squirrels. I caught, transported and released four of them in five days, using a mixture of birdseed and raisins for bait.

It is large enough to trap a grey squirrel, I found that there is not enough room in back of trap for much bait. The trigger is to close to rear of trap.

It could be nip and tuck depending on the length of the squirrel. The squirrel's tail could interfere with the trap door closing all the way. To be on the safe side you might get the next size up.Don't forget to lead the squirrel into the trap by placing bait outside the trap.

I have a couple of these traps. Someone finally got it right with the trigger set up. It doesn't take much to trip it. I catch Gray Squirrels all the time. Some times as many as 4 per day.I use cheap wild bird seed I get from any store. Fill up the trigger with about half a hand full and the other half hand full is for a line from just outside the door to the trigger. I have never lost a Squirrel in this trap. I have used other brands and bigger Havaheart, but none work like this one. Well worth the money. Very sturdy too. It is all metal. No springs to wear out. The weight of the door closes it.

Unless you have GIANT grey squirrels this trap will work perfectly. I've used the two-door version but the single door version is much easier to set. Havaharts work great.

Yes. It works. We had a squirrel in our attic. I set the trap right at the opening and got him. Read my review.

It does kill squirrels. A huge one got into my trap and was killed, even though he was only partly able to fit inside. So I am trying to minimize the space accessible into the opening of the trap to hopefully prevent this from happening again. I only hope a cat never tries to get in there. These traps are real zappers.

as far as I know, yes. I have red squirrels also and they can not get inside the cage, but they do try!

Squirrells have too strong legs for these traps.They usually easily escape.The best and most humane way for squirrell is to catch them alive and give the freedom far away from home.I suggest Havahart X-Small Professional Style One-Door Animal Trap for Chipmunk, Squirrel, Rat (available on Amazon.com) for this purpose.The best bait is peanut butter.

I don't want to kill squirrels! If this kills squirrels, I don't want it. Can someone recommend one that only kills mice and rats?

Human remains not sure!! I know mine picked up a couple dead squirrels!! LOL

It's worth a try. I've given up trying to deter the squirrels - I just fill the feeders and watch who gets there first!!!!! With 6 different feeders, I'm sure birds and squirrels alike all get something!!!!

I honestly don't know---I don't have squirrels where I live. Maybe a metal one would serve you better.

The PestChasers will repel rodents such as mice and rats. They would not be recommended to repel squirrels.

Don't know about the squirrels but we have good sized field rats that burry under our shed in the back and it gets them and kills 'em grave yard dead!!! Excellent trap.

I bought it to scare squirrels from our Mango trees. It did not work for squirrels at all. Squirrels would sit right in front of it with one of my mangos. I would click the remote to sound the alarm and the squirrels just kept chomping..., no effect at all. Also, device kept sounding off when a little wind made some leaves move (even on least sensative setting). It absolutely does not work on squirrels. I cannot say it will work on birds but, based on how well it works on squirrels, I have my doubts.

They are too small fr a squirrel ; I had a trap outside that was dragged around in the leaves prob by a squirrel but it got away ...our intended targets ( snakes ) avoided the traps but we have since used them fr mice ...

In my opinion, this product does NOT work in any way! I used it with the dispenser and I also put it loose on the ground. It did nothing. The squirrels would just sniff at and walk away. Frequently, they wold run up a tree and eat one of our apricots.

I don't think it is large enough for a grey squirrel. The box lists rats, chipmunks, red and flying squirrels.

I know that they work on rodents like mice and rats but I'm not sure about squirrels. Good luck. Let us know if you buy it and they work.
